Useful colt but wasn't up to the task in Group 1 company at the Curragh 2 weeks ago and similar scenario awaits. Down in trip.
|
Runner-up first 2 starts in maidens before 5¾ lengths fourth to The Lir Jet in Norfolk at Royal Ascot. Landed the odds back from a break at Navan 3 weeks ago and faces an uphill task here.
|
Smart juvenile whose 3½-length success in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh is the best form on offer. Badly hampered in the National Stakes there since and good chance of making amends.
|
Fetched only £20,000 as a yearling but has looked a top prospect to win both starts, slamming a subsequent Group 2 winner at Doncaster before comfortably landing the odds in listed race at Newbury.
|
Mehmas colt who confirmed debut promise when impressive winner of novice at Salisbury and looked potentially Group 1 class when justifying support in good style in Gimcrack at York. Serious player.
|
Confirmed debut promise when easy winner of Windsor maiden and improved another chunk when readily making all in Group 2 at Goodwood. Form is backed up by the clock and likely to make a bold bid.
|
Improved a chunk from debut when landing a gamble in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and followed up in Group 2 at the July Course. However, came unstuck when stepped up to this level in France since.
|
Winner of Norfolk at Royal Ascot and far from disgraced subsequently, second (promoted from third) in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh last time. Others look to have more potential, however.

Forecasts
Lucky Vega (5/2), Method (10/3), Minzaal (7/2), Supremacy (13/2), Tactical (11/1), Lipizzaner (14/1), The Lir Jet (16/1), Charterhouse (28/1)
A fascinating race featuring some of the most exciting 2-y-os in training, but METHOD could hardly have created a more striking impact on his 2 starts and there's substance to go with style, both in the form book and on the clock. Minzaal looked a colt of serious potential when taking the Gimcrack at York, while Lucky Vega's success in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh is the best form on offer.
